Turner Gill Quotations

Until Warde mentioned there was history here, I didn't even think about it. I mean I could see it. But I'm not into this, 'Well, this person is black or white.' I hope it shows it doesn't matter about color. It's really about people.

We know we have some work to do on the football side of it, and we're preparing to do those things.

If they have effort, we can coach them up on the rest.

We're playing teams that are known for being good football teams. It prepares us for the MAC. When we go somewhere and play in the MAC, we're better prepared because we're going against quality opponents.

He's kind of had some flashes. He'll have a great day and then he'll have some days that are not so good. But it was great to see him come back today in a game-type environment and make some plays for us. We've got to have guys in the receiving corps to step up and make plays for us.

I think he improved. He got a little bit better grip of our offense. He's done well and I'm very proud of him. I think he's going to do some great things for us.

We already had this planned, and this doesn't affect the scholarships we already gave. Once I got here, I knew what the numbers would be.

Those teams all had exciting running backs. You didn't have to look to the quarterback. They had running backs who could make plays.

Everything starts with the offensive line. We found quality guys in that area, and that's why we took that many.

I've been in programs that already had tradition. Here we have to build it, and I'm grateful for the opportunity.

Coach Carr has a phenomenal football mind. We are fortunate to have a coach of his experience and expertise to direct our offense and work with our quarterbacks.

This is going to be a special program, and this is the foundation. That is how we are looking at it. It's going to happen.

It's a class that fulfills all of our needs. We have a group of quality guys that are very physical and very athletic.

It starts with exceptional leadership from the quarterback and continues with exceptional talent. They have been a very impressive group.

I'll be watching right up front. Won't everybody?

But if he can play, it doesn't matter what position he plays. We want him.

This is a great foundation. For three weeks we were running around and trying to gather up some people and the guys did a great job finding guys. A lot of that has to do with our connections.
